The main storyline has been changed a bit. Updates during summer vacation.
After transmigrating into the descendant of an ancient general, Qin Nianjin endured countless hardships and grew up to become a female general. During a mission, she encountered Wen Wanqing, the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter, at her residence. As they passed each other, their eyes met for a moment, and that single glance set their bond and story in motion.
When Qin Nianjin saw Wen Wanqing, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat, mixed with an indescribable fear and sadness. She disliked these feelings and wanted to get away from their source, so she merely gave Wen Wanqing a cold glance.
For some reason, Wen Wanqing's first impression of the female general was not a good one. Even so, she smiled at her, just as she had smiled at others she had met before. Qin Nianjin was slightly taken aback by that smile. From that moment on, that smile sealed their endless entanglement in this life.
Their story officially began right then.
Meeting, understanding, and falling in love: these would run through their entire lives.
They were entangled until the very end, unable to see through it or put it into words.
"When the flowers bloom, wait for me to return victorious and marry you!"
"All right. I'll wait for you."
That year, camellias and red plum blossoms withered one after another. For some reason, snow fell in spring. Wen Wanqing raised her hand and caught a snowflake, gazing toward the northern frontier. Her expression was inscrutable, and no one knew what she was thinking.
That winter, news of victory at the northern frontier arrived. Every household celebrated the good news, and the streets shone with lights. Wen Wanqing gazed at the camellias and red plum blossoms filling the city, her expression still inscrutable.
Their story was destined to come to an end.
A transmigrated female general x the Prime Minister's legitimate daughter
(This is my first time writing, so my prose may be a little immature. Please bear with me.)
The title can be understood as: because everything came too late, there was a chance for regret to exist (guess what exactly came too late).
Theme: May peace prevail throughout the world, and may all be well.
